There are plenty of canned, dried, or sealed package goods that you can make a much better meal than an MRE with a camp stove or a grill and your pots/pans when the power's out, for substantially lower cost. Even camping, plenty of better options.

Perhaps he's just working on the basis that the justice system doesn't tend to push for the maximum sentence if you co-operate. (I might be being naive here, I don't have experience with courts) Certainly I'd regard anything he's said in public as PR spin.

It's absolutely this. Ken White goes into the logic on one of the Podcasts he's on (All the President's Lawyers.). He's not sentenced yet, and judges are supposed to take cooperation, remorse, etc into consideration at sentancing.

Yeah, MREs are a waste for camping unless you get them free. OTOH I'll probably grab one of these pizza MREs at some point out of curiosity.

For the tangential emergency preparedness talk I've got these ration biscuits that are 6 to a pack @ 400 calories/biscuit that I got for $1 per pack. I've used them on road trips and they taste like lovely crackers but will make you not feel hungry for a few hours as long as you have a ton of bottled water to wash them down.

Why not just peanut butter for emergencies? I could probably live on PB and crackers/PB + instant oatmeal for a few weeks. poo poo is delicious and I can't imagine something more calorie dense that actually has nutritional value beyond just being fat.

We went hiking in philmont god nearly 2 decades ago and they had packaged pilot bread and I loved that poo poo. I know it's hard tack but it somehow wasn't hard at all, probably because of modern palates. I kinda wanna see if I can find some but the packaging was really minimal. Would be great with peanut butter

Some places still have lockouts, most don't. Except in Sydney, where it's more like 1AM, and entire night spots (like King's Cross) have shut down because the Liberal state govt wanted to funnel more patrons into the local casino for sweet kickbacks.

I assume that's what they mean by local casino? I've won more money than I've lost watching people scrap in the parking lot of a waffle house at 2 am. If you wanna watch a fistfight while eating waffles after last call in the deep south somewhere else you're poo poo out of luck.

Mountain House sells canned pilot bread, and it has like a 25 year shelf life. There's also Sailor Boy which comes packaged like regular crackers but it's apparently somewhat hard to get outside of Alaska.

Though unlike real hardtack, pilot bread is made with a leavening agent and is therefore agreeable to eat.

I made a batch of hardtack quite a few years back. I sadly couldnt find any weevils to infest it to get it to historical best. From what I could tell they didnt really eat it directly. Usually it was crushed up and added to whatever else they had like fats. Flour went bad much faster.
